A.R.E. library and conference center in Virginia BeachHeadquarters Building

The Edgar Cayce hospital building was constructed in 1928. People were treated by a licensed medical staff in accordance with the readings until 1931, when it was closed at the onset of the Great Depression. Since 1956, the building has served as A.R.E.® headquarters, housing the administrative offices and the Harold J. Reilly School of Massotherapy.
